    First of all, good for your for starting this channel. Courage is always a good thing. Can you separate the videos somehow so that the titles show up on the bottom? I'm asking b/c for example, I may just be interested in one review; not all of them (I was looking for Paul, the bookstore made a mistake and I've been waiting for it for 3 weeks now instead of the usual 7 days). Also, if something is not revealed in the beginning of the book (beak- up???) please, no spoilers. The writer obviously kept it a surprise for a reason. Thanks for reviewing. Much appreciated! Please review Sweetbitter by S. Danler and Is Mother Dead? The Booker Prize finalist. Also, did you ever do a review once you finished Paul? I couldn't find the rest of your review. Thank you!
